Rob van der Voo 2014 Petrus Peregrinus Medal The 2014 Petrus Peregrinus Medal is awarded to Rob van der Voo for his prodigious contributions to palaeomagnetism, global tectonics and rock magnetism that make him a pioneer and a leading authority in the geosciences overall. Read more
Cristiana Stefan 2013 Outstanding Student Poster (OSP) Award The 2013 Outstanding Student Poster (OSP) Award is awarded to Cristiana Stefan Long-term external effects in annual means from observatory and main field models Read more
Dominique Jault 2013 Petrus Peregrinus Medal The 2013 Petrus Peregrinus Medal is awarded to Dominique Jault for outstanding research in geomagnetism and the dynamics of the Earth’s core. His seminal work linking changes in the length of day to core flows consistent with the geomagnetic secular variation helped establish a new understanding of core processes. His subsequent research has added greatly to our understanding of the Earth’s deep interior. Read more
